A 2026 threat hunting playbook with seven battle-tested Sigma rules, a MITRE ATT&CK coverage matrix, and success metrics for SOC analysts, threat hunters, and detection engineers. Hunt the techniques, not the indicators.

A practitioner’s guide to the minimum viable cloud log set: CloudTrail, identity, DNS at tier one. Coverage matrix across AWS, Azure, GCP plus cost trade-offs.

A five-stage detection engineering framework — hypothesis, data inventory, logic, validation, metrics — with an AWS GuardDuty worked example, YAML rule template, and a failure-analysis playbook for noisy or silent detections.

Precision, recall, F1, alert-fatigue math, ATT&CK saturation and a working scorecard template. The metrics every detection engineer must track — with formulas and a downloadable CSV.
